IP Screen
14.1 Overview
The Internet Protocol (IP) address identifies a device on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.
Figure 104 IP Setup
The figure above illustrates one possible setup of your NWA. The gateway IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the IP address of the NWA is 192.168.1.2 (default). The gateway and the device must belong in the same subnet mask to be able to communicate with each other.
14.1.1 What You Can Do in the IP Screen
Use the IP Screen (see Section 14.2 on page 184) to configure the IP address of your NWA.
